    There exist some website with a guide for UAE but I can't remember the
    exact URL...

    Anyway, it's not that complicated really. You could use just one setup
    for probably everything. Here's how I do it.

    first, install the latest version of E-UAE. Then copy your
    kickstart-ROM into that folder. Then copy this into your .uaerc file.
    (if it doesn't exist, just create a textfile and name it .uaerc.)

    amiga.rom_path=Work:e-uae_0.8.28-2/

    cpu_speed=max
    cpu_type=68020
    chipset=aga

    fastmem_size=32
    chipmem_size=4
    gfxcard_size=8
    z3mem_size=32

    gfx_lores=true
    gfx_fullscreen_amiga=yes
    gfx_width=320
    gfx_height=240
    gfx_linemode=none
    gfx_correct_aspect=true
    gfx_center_horizontal=smart
    gfx_center_vertical=smart
    gfx_framerate=0
    show_leds=yes

    #sound_output=none
    sound_output=normal
    sound_frequency=22050
    sound_channels=stereo

    joyport0=mouse
    joyport1=joy0

    #1.2
    #kickstart_rom_file=Devs:Kickstarts/Kick33180.a500
    #kickstart_rom_file=HDs/amigaos3/Devs/Kickstarts/Kick34005.a500
    #kickstart_rom_file=Devs:Kickstarts/Kick37175.a500
    #kickstart_rom_file=Devs:Kickstarts/Kick39106.a500
    #kickstart_rom_file=HDs/AmigaOS3/Devs/Kickstarts/Kick40068.a4000
    kickstart_rom_file=Work:e-uae-0.8.28-2/kick.rom

    floppy_speed=400
    amiga.floppy_path=Work:/e-uae_0.8.28-2/
    nr_floppies=4

    floppy2type=0
    floppy3type=0

    floppy0=Work:e-uae-0.8.28-2/
    floppy1=Work:e-uae-0.8.28-2/
    floppy2=Work:e-uae-0.8.28-2/
    floppy3=Work:e-uae-0.8.28-2/


    #filesystem2=rw,DH0:System:Work:e-uae-0.8.28-2/harddrives/System, 1
    #filesystem2=rw,DH1:Work:Work:e-uae-0.8.28-2/harddrives/Work, 0


    now, you probably hasn't got E-UAE installed where I have it so change
    the paths to match where you installed E-UAE. (pay special attention
    to the ROM section. I renamed my 3.1 ROM file to kick.rom just because
    I usually only run 3.1 stuff so your kickstart-ROM certainly has
    another name.)

    Everything with a # in front of it is things i've commented out. For
    example, if I want to run my OS3.9 setup emulated I uncomment the last
    two lines which points to my two harddrives that contains my OS3.9
    workbench and stuff.

    if you want to play games from a shortcut or start any other
    ADF-based thing then just open a text editor and type something like
    this (I use superfrog as an example here):

    uae.sdl -0 Superfrog_1.adf -1 Superfrog_2.adf -2 Superfrog_3.adf -3
    Superfrog_4.adf

    (the -0 to -3 are the diskdrives)

    I then save the textfile as "superfrog" and then I rightclick it,
    choose Information and check the little box next to "script" as well
    as well as changing its icon to something fitting, such as a frog. ;)

    that's it. just doubleclick the newly created icon and UAE should
    launch, checking your .uaerc and seconds later the game or program
    will start. :)

    to quit the game (as we are running fullscreen) just hit AMIGA+M until
    you get back to the screen where UAE output all its text and press
    CTRL+C to break the emulation.

    if you rather just want to try something in UAE without the hassle of
    creating an icon etc then just open up a CLI, go to the UAE folder and
    type in "uae.sdl -0 diskimage.ADF" (without the quotationmarks) and it
    will start.

    thats really all the things you need to do to get
    UAE up and running.

    hoped it helped. :)
